Update...post 2

Just a quick update!  

So I've decided not to leave anything out, even if it's a little graphic.  Many people actually really want to know what's going on and are interested in details.  I figure if you don't want to read it, you don't have to.

There haven't been very many changes since my first post last week.  Just getting my blood cleaned, taking my medications, and trying to eat the way I'm supposed to. The only thing I've noticed is that I'm only urinating once a day now.  I talked to the doctor Monday about that, and he said it happens to just about everyone that goes on dialysis and within months, I will even lose that one day.   

I was hoping to have my new access in my wrist soon, but insurance issues are preventing that.  Hopefully I'll have some answers about that in the next week or two.

Jake, my son, is with me in dialysis tonight.  He was excited to come, but I think next time he might skip it.  It's very boring.  Just sitting in a room with 20 other people just watching TV, playing with electronics, or sleeping.  The nurses are very nice to talk to though.  It might sound bad, but I think they like when I come in because I'm not 90 years old, I can walk, and talk.  I am a little different than most of the people in here.

So thanks for reading and following this process.  Here are a few pictures over the last week.
